Well, let's see - - AI asked her to be a judge, and she always has loved AI, so why not accept? She didn't ask them - - they asked her.

Paula's problem was money, among other things. They didn't ask her to leave, either.

Also, last time I checked, Simon doesn't sing either.

But what credentials do any of these people have? Have to admit not an Idol fan, and have only seen the show a few times. Paula was a former cheerleader who later choreographed videos for MTV, and the got a record deal to have her voice produced in a studio...she never actually sang live without lip synching. Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson? Before Idol who ever heard of them?
So why not Ellen? She's not funny but calls herself a comedian...she'll fit right in!

Randy Jackson was a music producer and musician and I certainly had heard of him before AI.

Simon was and still is an English television personality, A&R executive, television producer, and entrepreneur. He is famous in the United Kingdom.

As far as Ellen is concerned, IMHO she is very funny and IS a comedian. And, I am sure there are many people out there that agree.

As far as all of these people mentioned - - for being unknown and not talented, they sure are laughing all the way to the bank, eh?

P.S. On American Idol, the people vote, not the judges - - so having no credentials would be fine.

Simon also was the brains behind the Teletubbies!!! Or had something huge to do with them. He said his friends laughed at him but HE was the one laughing all the way to the bank. He's also discovered lots of talent so Simon knows what to look for. I think they asked Ellen simply because the show is loosing ratings. She will add some laughter to the show. If I was a contestant I would only listen to Simon. That Kara I can't stand, wish they let her go instead of Paula.

People vote once the contestants have been narrowed down, but the judges decide who makes it to Hollywood and I believe once the kids get to Hollywood the judges still make further cuts.

I don't know how the chemistry between the judges will work w/Ellen. I think they're banking on people tuning in to find out. It will be weird w/out Paula.

It is MHO that American Idol is drivel! But if that's what stimulates your brain cells have at it! To each his own.
When I watched the show I felt the contestents were untalented and the judges comments were some of the most inane words I have ever heard spoken!

Hi Seal - - I see your white seal is still on your avi - - finally!

Yes, I remember the remark someone made to him about the Teletubbies, but he is responsible for the Teletubbies making it to television and becoming a success. He was also behind the production of a Teletubbies Christmas album. Certainly not something he wants to be common knowledge among American Idol fans!

I too wish Paula had stayed rather than Kara, but - - whatever.

AI is the only reality show I watch. I very seldom watch until they are down to the last 10 contestants, because some of them are really good. It is a good escape from all the seriousness on other television channels.

Look what happened with Susan Boyle - - on Britain's Got Talent" - - now that was really something!

"Idol" is not a fav of mine..but I do watch when bored. IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO ME THAT ALL THE JUDGES were the real stars and not the performers - so full of themselves. Ellen will add some much needed RELIEF FROM THEIR OVERSIZED EGOS.

That's right the Christmas album...hahaha too funny!!! I usually watch the auditions cause I get such a kick out of them and then if there is somebody I like I watch till they go. My fave so far has been David Cook! Last yr I liked Danny.

I know Simone is a real sweet heart probably the nicest out of them all. He always signs autographs fo people and is an animal rights activist. His biggest problem he likes those darn ole strip joints a little too much...hahahaha (from what I've read)

I really like Ellen, never really cared for Paula, I like Simon when he's not destroying someones feelings, he can be more tactful than that. I like Randy, don't really like the new one, to me she's to loud and bossy.
